so, upon reflection from during your pregnancy, what would you have liked your primate to have done differently? What did he do that you liked in particular? Any other advice or insights into the whole mini-monkey making madness?

thanks!

I would have liked him to bring me more chocolate milkshakes.

And other than the observations that pregnant women are hormonally deranged, what other kind of insight would you like?

More milkshakes. Great idea!

Yes, hormonally deranged sounds about right.

Not sure what other insights, me dumb monkey. I probably shouldn't pull off my cycling clothes, throw it at her and say, "wash that"?

My husband is awesome and he definitely was great while I was pregnant. My daughter was VERY active (kicking and rolling around) and it was tough to get her worn out so I could sleep. Every night around 8:30-9pm he would lean over and talk to her (through my ever growing belly) and get her to kick and whirl around so that she would be tired out and sleep when I was ready to go to bed.

I hadn't thought of that... that the baby could keep you up and needs 'exercise'.

Definitely. Ours was a crazy kicker and would respond to Sq-Earl's touch and voice which was why it was so helpful.

Sounds like ours. He loved old school hip hop. When ever we played it for him he'd go crazy. The cord was wrapped around his neck twice when he came out. That was a little scary to see.

LO... Just pay attention and do whatever she asks a the time even if it doesn't make a damn bit of sense (it won't) and don't ask questions. Just do it. Seriously, no questions. Trying to predict it ahead of time is pointless. Also, towards the end, if she asks to go to the bathroom while traveling, for god's sake get her to a bathroom asap. Hell hath no furry like a pregnant women who has to pee!

I do and I agree, but...

That's not true. See, last night about 9pm, her energy levels were low, she was feeling crappy, no food in the house appealed to her, I tried everything I had already done and then remembered...

I got her a milkshake and she smiled, then drank it and said I was brilliant

Plus, she woke up feeling good. She doesn't usually eat after 7-8pm and it appears that if you eat something before bed while pregnant, that helps.

So thanks all!
